Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study examining self-reported family functioning by patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) and their parents before and after treatment for the eating symptoms of BN. Ratings of family functioning improved significantly over the course of treatment. There was no evidence of excessive denial or social desirability in the families.
